Yeah, that doesn't change, unfortunately. If anything it actually gets worse over time.

That sucks, it could be a much more interesting world if the characters where more fleshed out.

On the other hand, it could be worse; Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint has multiple times where the MC espouses Randian bullshit like that you shouldn't help people for free.

Yikes. I never heard of it before, but now I know to avoid it.

::: spoiler spoilers for... probably 2-3 seasons down the line? The protagonist basically just starts his own exploitative company but it's fine because he's the only one who does anything and he can't be hurt because he's so OP! :::

Not the direction I thought it would go tbh.

Solo levelling is South Korean manhwa, author literally died working on it

That's not the author, but rather the illustrator. Still, extremely fucked up, I was not aware of that. Though not surprising coming from Occupied Korea.

and you expect come social commentary about predatory capitalism in the age of apocalypse?

Honestly, yeah I did. Despite everything, recent big works from Occupied Korea that get's international appraise tend to be anticapitalist or at least very critical of capitalism like Parasite and Squid Game. But maybe these are outliers, I don't know.

Anyway, better read some murim manhwas, they tend to be quite fun.

Thanks I'll take a look, do you have any recommendations? I never really read any manhwa.

Yeah, AOT is VERY fascist.

There's a character that is a depiction of a Japanese war criminal iirc and he's one of the "good" guys, which is also the entirety of the military too. It also makes the viewer root for the military coup and the only answer for every big problem presented is literal genocide.

There's also zero leftist movements present in this world, like not even a protest asking for the basic stuff the people on the outer walls and on the underground don't have while the inner walls have everything.

And to top it off a lot of fans were openly spewing the same genocidal fascist rethoric the story promotes for years while using an Eren or Floch pfp. It's genuinely insane to me how this happened.

Thansks, I didn't know he did a video on that, I'll watch it

Little guy looks like a Greg to me

Oh so that's why. A part of my family is evangelical, but they don't really talk much about religion other than mentioning something here and there, so I never knew that.

Here in Brazil mainstream media like Globo tend to be very Zionist.

And I don't get why but the conservatives just fucking love Isn'treal, its common to see Isn'treali flags when these conservatives do gatherings and protests. I guess a lot of it is because of Bolsonaro. A lot of evangelicals do that to. It's so weird. I remember seeing uses of the flag way before October 7 too.

I don't see much in local news about the genocide anymore, but it's baffling that every time there is something there's always so many Zionists spamming the colonizer's flag in comments and such.

Hey, just a heads up, Spotube should be fixed right now when using the Youtube backend in the settings.

The Piped backend looks to still be broken tho.

That doesn't mean that everyone should support games being forced into having all genders, or races, or include trans people. Or all books or movies should be forced to have those things.

Literally no one is being "forced" to add diversity. This is just plain ignorant.

Besides, no one bats an eye when a character is a white cis hetero man, but the moment something slightly different from the normativity appears, suddenly it is forced and unrealistic.

Fuck that, LGBT people exist and we deserve the bare minimum of at least having proper representation in the media we consume.

This is not equal to hating trans people, and anyone with some iq points realizes this. We can't turn every creation into a vehicle for trans rights.

Keep your bullshit IQ points talking point. Put yourself on someone's shoes for once and try to imagine what it might be like for a trans person to experience seeing a character like them. And stop with this bullshit of "making every character trans", that's literally not happening.

Educate yourself on the Korean war. https://youtu.be/XJ0kBLCCE7c

That's so cooooooooool

Yeah, bad timing on my end to recommend it lol. From the little I read on their GitHub, I don't think the API change was intentional to break stuff, just so happens to do so, but I could be wrong. Hopefully it gets solved soon enough, at least there is already a pull request to that fixes it.

Yep, it can use your Spotify account if you want to play mport your playlists and doesn't have ads because it fetches the music from YouTube.

It looks like YouTube did something to their API and a bunch of apps that use it are not working, including Piped, but some solution is being worked on.

Youtube Revanced + Spotube is where it is at

It's a tie between The Motorcycle Diaries and Howl's Moving Castle.

The first I found extremely touching, the second is just incredibly magical and charming.

3, 7 and 9.

Why does he have to be the most precious thing ever 🥹

I'd recommend you test Bazzite, Nobara and Solus and see which one you like best.

As far as I know screen resolution issues usually comes down to outdated drivers and/or kernel, at least for newer hardware. Using a distro that's very up-to-date usually solves that, any of the 3 ones I cited above are regularly up-to-date.

I'll briefly explain the differences between them.

::: spoiler Bazzite: "Atomic" distro. Basically means it updates like Android, where it downloads an image of the system and uses that to update, instead of updating every single package individually when you try to update. It also means some parts of the system are read-only, making it impossible to mess with the more critical parts of the system, which helps a lot to mitigate user breakage and issues.

It is Fedora based, comes with KDE Plasma and a lot of of useful gaming stuff pre-installed. Just use the software center to install anything you need. It has a forum and Discord server if you ever need help with something. Also, it auto-updates on the background by default and only applies the update once you restart you computer.

I use it daily since the last 3 months at least and has been the smoothest, most plug and play experience I ever had on Linux. It is also the only one of the 3 that I recommended that supports Secure Boot and easy TPM2 setup, both which I need because of an external drive with Win11 I barely use and because I encrypt my system. :::

::: spoiler Nobara: It's not Atomic, so it updates "normally" and doesn't have the read-only protections.

It is Fedora based and comes with KDE Plasma by default, but have options to use other Desktop Environments. There's a Discord server to ask for help if needed.

I used it for a year before I moved to Bazzite and it's pretty good. The only 2 caveats is that on major upgrades you need to upgrade through the terminal following specific instructions, and I had to manually intervene in the system a few times, which I only knew about because I was in GE's Discord, otherwise it would be a pain to find how to fix the issues I had. :::

::: spoiler Solus: It's not Atomic, so it updates "normally" and doesn't have the read-only protections.

It's not based on any other distro, it is it's own thing. Comes by default with Budgie but there's also a KDE Plasma option. There's a forum to ask for help if needed.

Used it for at least 4 or 5 years I think. Was the first Linux distro to actually get my attention and one of the best computer experiences I've ever had. I only ended abandoning it because of some issues with the team behind it that resulted in months of downtime without a single update, to the point I thought the distro was dead. It ended up coming back after some restructuring, but I never tried it again. I still recommend it because of how good it was, I found nearly everything I needed natively on their app store. The biggest problem other than the one I already talked about was outdated apps here and there. :::

You should do it. I had to stop using it after the ban here in Brasil and it has been a blessing. Been using BlueSky ever since and I'm yet to see a single Nazi or Nazi content. I had to manually block like 5 people only.

I get what you're saying and I would definitely agree in the case of Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite. I specifically said Bazzite because it is specifically made to be as hassle free as possible while also providing a lot out of the box.

If someone needs help there's a dedicated forum for that, documentation and also a Discord server. It can be more complex in some areas for troubleshooting, but it is also big enough to the point where you can get help if needed.

Bazzite has been the smoothest experience I ever had on Linux since I started using it in 2018 when Proton launched. I even use it on my main computer and laptop.

If I had to recommend a non atomic distro the only ones would be Solus and Nobara, but on Nobara you need to keep an eye on their Discord because of manual interventions every now and then.
